Relief Starts Here: Specialized TMJ and Headache Treatments
YOU WANT TO GET RID OF YOUR HEADACHES & TMJ PAIN, FIRST STEP IS A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS
You can see dozens of real patient testimonials of how Dr. Simon’s treatment really changed their lives! Visit: www.HelpHeadaches.com
To have a correct diagnosis you need a great dentist who specializes in headaches & TMJ.
If you’re struggling with persistent headaches or jaw or facial pain, obtaining an accurate diagnosis is essential. Studies have shown that over 70% of head, neck, or facial pain, even migraines, are actually due to overactive head and jaw muscles. At Dental Care Stamford, we focus on identifying and treating these issues, when they stem from bite imbalances. Dr. Jerry Simon, our specialist in TMJ and headache disorders, employs his non-invasive patented FDA-approved Bite Discluder to quickly determine if your bite is contributing to your discomfort. If it can temporarily stop the pain, usually in just a couple of minutes, then we know your pain is due to your bite, and fixing your bite will solve the pain.
Our approach starts with a detailed evaluation to pinpoint whether bite issues are the root cause of your pain. If yes, We offer targeted treatments designed to improve your bite imbalance. Many patients come to us after multiple unsuccessful attempts with other doctors. At Dental Care Stamford, our integrated team of specialists works together seamlessly under one roof, providing coordinated care without the need for additional referrals or separate appointments. This ensures you receive precise diagnosis and effective relief, all in one place.
How an uneven bite can cause headaches:
The 4 illustrations below show how an uneven bite can cause headaches. During your consult with Dr. Simon, he will use his FDA-approved Bite Discluder, shown in the 4th illustration, to test and diagnose your bite. If the test relieves your headaches, it confirms that your pain is due to an uneven bite, which can be corrected.
1. With a properly aligned bite, your jaw is centered, and your teeth fit together correctly.
3. The jaws are constantly shifting for teeth to fit which causes muscle spasms and pain (headaches).
2. With an uneven bite, the jaw stretches to fit the teeth, sometimes causing it to shift out of its socket.
4. Dr. Simon's Discluder guides teeth to let jaws center so the muscles can relax and the pain stops.
Here's the truth about headaches & TMJ
- Most of the information you have learned about headaches is actually NOT TRUE.
- Over 75% of headaches are triggered by muscles due to excessive teeth clenching or grinding.
- Teeth clenching and grinding aren’t caused by stress but by your unconscious effort to make your teeth fit. Stress worsens the discomfort from an uneven bite, increasing clenching and grinding, which leads to frequent headaches.
- At Dental Care Stamford, our in-house specialist for headaches means most people with head, neck, or facial pain can get long-term relief without drugs, surgery, or Botox

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J
